Entrepreneurship as a keycompetence for the economic and social progress of the country. However, the current training intechnical careers does not adequately cover the collaborative skills associated withentrepreneurship. The general objective was to test Moscoso´s pedagogical model that integratesspecific competencies, such as leadership, team communication, and team mediation, within thecurriculum of technical careers. The specific objectives focused on designing and proposing apedagogical model for the development of each of these competencies, comparing responses to aquestionnaire applied

Larson and Wilson 4 investigated theusefulness of Bowenian family systems theory on career decision making by college students.They offered findings that suggest that ‘fused families’ may sharply limit the career decision-making of children and the child may either revolt against or meekly accept these attitudes andpreferences. They also discovered that when anxiety is evident in individual family members orin the family processes, the offspring are unsure about making career decision. Thisenvironment “negatively influences the young adult developmental tasks of career decisionmaking, a process requiring more of a balance of intellectual and

The current research intends to predict the academic performance of early engineeringmajors based on student beliefs and feelings about their education in addition to academicpreparation during high school. Prior research has demonstrated a correlation between low-income individuals and specific psychological beliefs that are relevant to student success: lowerself-efficacy [5], fixed mindsets [6], and a lack of sense of belonging in academia [7] are allinstrumental in understanding the underrepresentation of low-income students in

engineers are responsible. Educating engineers for their career responsibilities hasalways been a priority of teaching institutions, but ethics education in engineering has not alwaysbeen a significant part of the curriculum. The importance of ethics training for students in otherfields such as medicine and psychology is more prevalent than that in the field of science andengineering. While the need for making ethical decisions for professionals in medicine andpsychology is apparent, it may not be so for engineers. Engineers make countless decisions thataffect the welfare of their corporations, their communities, and their professions.
